Wo darwaza kayi maheenon se band tha. Darwaza khulte hi ek ajeeb si gandh aayi. Sudha ki saason mein ghulkar vah aanton tak fail gayi. Unka hona aur saath zindagi ke bitaye wo saare lamhe uski zehan mein phir se utarne lage. Saamne padi khaat, khaat par aundhe muh pada hua bistar aur poore aangan mein aandhi ke baad udkar aayi hui neem aur eucalyptus ki pattiyan. Sudha ke kadam thithak rahe the aur thodi der ke liye vah us makaan ke andar nahi jaana chahti thi. Use vah sab kuchh daravna lag raha tha jo uske saamne tha. Jab wo wahan the unka ghar aise bilkul nahi tha. Tab sab kuchh kareene se hota tha aur koi samaan yun bikhra na pada hota tha. Sudha ke paas teen chaabiyan thi. Ek, jisse wo ghar ka main darwaza khol sakti thi; doosri, jisse uske kamre ka darwaza khulta tha; aur teesra, uske kitchen ka tha. Bas itna hi tha uska samrajya aur isse adhik ki use laalsa bhi na thi. Lekin upar-wala asamay hi sukh deta hai aur asamay hi dukhon ka pahad laad deta hai. Sudha ne jab ghar ka darwaza khola to uske saath uski pados ki mahilayein thi. Vah teen maheene pehle wahan par taala bandkar gayi thi, us samay bhi yahi mahilayein Sudha ke saath aayi thi. Wo the, Fatima chachi, Sitara chachi aur Soni. Sudha thodi der kuchh sochti rahi aur phir paas mein se jaadu lekar makaan mein dakhil ho gayi. Use sab kuchh kinare ghaseetkar ekdum se saaf kar dena chahti thi. Tab se ab tak wahan bahut kuchh badal gaya tha.
